• Moving on to kitchen lighting

    We have pretty much a blank canvas here as we're getting the room rewired/plastered etc

    The cabinets on the right of the room will have LED strips, as will the shelving and the cooker hood (green shapes)

    I'll also have 3 pendant lights hanging over the island (red circles) - something maybe like this There will also be a ton of natural light during daylight hours from south facing windows

    I haven't decided about ambient lighting. Recessed spotlights feel a bit soulless and also risk creating unwelcome shadows. I am leaning towards maybe 2 of these in the blue circled areas https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/nymane-ceiling-spotlight-with-3-spots-white-00336267/

    I'd both pendants and ambient ceiling lights to be dimmable too.

    Any thoughts or suggestions?

  • This is all personal taste but I wouldn't have pendant lights that close to the cooking zone, they will get greasy over time and are a faff to clean.
